A Miura-ken Beauty Rose (Robert Lang): First Attempt

What's the advantage of being a novice folder like myself? While Robert Lang would have to discard this fold as a total disaster, I can be quite proud of it. Yes, I want to improve to get a better result than this. And yes, I admit, I haven't quite understood how to correctly shape the rose in the end. But, I AM proud of this, because it's the first time I've managed to get something remotely looking like when the master himself folds it.

Paper: 26cm square of unsuitable paper for this model (thick, but not strong; not coloured throughout)
Model: tip to opposite edge of base pentagon approx. 7cm; height approx. 4.5cm

paper and dividing

you should fold it from tissue foil and how do you divide a paper into 11 equal parts

Good job!

I think the final result is pretty good! It's Lang's model and therefore would be a realy tricky one to fold too! You have done a good job on it. I see the folds are crisp but the edges a bit worn out. I was thinking maybe your next try should be with tissue paper? You know...those lil packs you get in the gift wrapping section in stores? Or maybe washi paper? Tissue paper would be a lot easier to fold and shape too and they also come in 'double-side' colored sheets too.
